Cost of Living in Amsterdam - Supermarket Items
The following table lists approximate prices of food, drink and various other items which can be purchased in local supermarkets. This can be used as a rough guideline to the cost of living in Amsterdam and the Netherlands - both for tourists and those considering Amsterdam as a place to live. |
Note, prices will vary depending on a number of factors - the quality (organic, branded, own-brand or budget); the quantity of product (buying in bulk is cheaper); the time of year (when some fresh produce is in/out of season) and if there are any special offers available.
